Environment Canada is investigating the possibility that a tornado touched down between Goderich and Holmesville around 10 last night.
Geoff Coulson is a Warning Preparedness Meteorologist at Environment Canada
He says ,"We did see the picture that was taken last night by someone in the area that looked like it could have been a tornado in and around the Goderich area , but we have been in contact with the emergency management coordinator for the town of Goderich. She's not aware of any damage in the area.'
Numerous fast-moving thunderstorms prompted the national weather service to issue several tornado and thunderstorm warnings for parts of midwestern Ontario throughout the night.
No major damage has been reported.
Coulson says input from residents in the area would help investigators.
He says, "I'd encourage any of the listeners if they did have any notable damage on their properties from the storms last night, they can provide an account of the damage, maybe some pictures to Environment Canada at our email adress storm.ontario@ec.gc.ca."
Goderich Fire told CKNX News they were not aware of any injuries regarding the possible tornado.
